## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The best water bottle. It works better and it looks better than anything else on the market.
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023*

The styling is impeccable -- you would expect nothing less from Zohirushi. I bought two of these, one in red, one in blue, both with the classic ichimatsu etching on the bottle. Design wise, they are my favorite objects bought in 2023. Function wise, there's nothing to compare. They keep water cold for days (ice inside goes unmelted for more than 24 hours). They keep coffee piping hot for hours. I pour my Starbucks grande mocha in one right after the barista hands it to me, and when I finally drink it, often hours later, it is as hot as when I rolled out of Starbucks. Pricy? As with everything in life, you get what you pay for.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great design, poor cosmetics.
  

*by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019*

Let me state this to begin with: The release/drinking design of these mugs is sheer genius.  It's a pleasure to use every time, and cleaning it is a snap.Having said that, I ordered mine because I really liked the pattern online.  I work at an office, and I'm not too hard with my carrying items, nor have I gone backpacking lately.  I've hand-washed this guy in soap and hot water, but it's still started peeling and flaking.  I know a one-star review seems pretty extreme, but I am disappointed in this company because it was the #1 recommended in The WireCutter and other review sites for a thermos.  Had I known that the pattern wouldn't apply, I probably wouldn't have bought it.TL;DR it works great but it's not pretty at all any more and I expect more flaking in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Bad coating!
  

*by Y***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021*

Outside coating is in horrible quality. It never happens to my other Zojirushi bottle before.
